Many people used rebels for both saltwater and freshwater bass.
One time I was fishing at lake quinsig on the Shrewsbury side. My girlfriend would come fishing with me often but she seldom fished. one time i talked her into fishing. She could't cast a light lure so I tied on a rebel I used for stripers. I'd say it was 8 inches long. After a few casts a huge largemouth hit the rebel about 5 feet from shore. It thrashed around and broke water and that scared the hell out of her. She threw the rod on the ground and ran back towards the car. I grabbed the rod before it was pulled in but in the act fo recueing the rod the lure broke off. the fish , about a 9 pound largemouth , was thrashing away about 25 feet out impaled along its underside by the treble hooks on the rebel. It was drifting further and further away every second. I tried to snag it with my pole and lure but no luck.
I walked over to my girlfriend who was in tears , frightened to death by the fish strike just a few feet in front of her.
